I currently pocket carrying a Bauer .25 ACP (other than a Buckmark .22, the only gun I own...given to me by my mom before she passed) but looking to move to something more powerful and reliable while still pocket carrying (my best option with all my wardrobes) so I'm looking at the Ruger LCP.
A local gun and pawn store has the Ruger LCP for $219.95 + tax. I'm not sure if it's Gen1 or Gen2 - asked the guy over the phone and he said he wasn't sure but said they're new...him not knowing worries me a little bit.
A couple first timer questions:
- This is my 1st gun purchase in 20+ years so what should I be looking for to make sure this gun is legit and brand new and the seller is on the up and up?
- Does anyone have a link to a good picture showing the difference between the Gen1 and Gen2 so I can check to see which model it is before I buy it? From what I've been able to find out the sights are a bit larger on the Gen2.
- Would you consider the LCP Gen2 (or Gen1 for that matter) an excellent purchase for $220?
Thanks for any advice!!!
